An important note about your SECURITY AND SAFETY!! DO NOT IGNORE THIS!!
ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:

DO NOT SEND ANY SENSETIVE INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF OR ANYONE ELSE, IN A MESSAGE OF ANY TYPE OFFERED BY QUIET MESSAGE, TO PEOPLE YOU DON’T KNOW! That includes your full name, physical addresses, SSNs, credit card numbers, phone numbers, or any other piece of information. If you need to give someone such private information, do it in some other way, on some other platform, NOT in Quiet Message. It is important that you understand how this works so that you understand why it is important not to send such identifying information. Any message you send is visible to ANYONE who has access to our technology. Messages are not hidden in any way, to anyone who has internal access to our site, authorized or otherwise. Your privacy is protected by the fact that we ensure that it is not possible to know who sent what message to who, nor is it possible to know who happened to read any particular message once sent. What is identified is the message itself. This allows people to send messages back and forth simply by knowing the identity of a particular message instead of knowing the identifies of senders or receivers. But if you send a message that includes info that identifies you or anyone else, you have compromised your privacy because that information will now be in our system, which, again, can be read plainly by anyone with access. It is very simple: if you do not want people to know your full name, physical addresses, SSNs, credit card numbers, phone numbers, or any other piece of information, simply DO NOT include it in a message on Quiet Message. Use common sense. If you wouldn’t yell your message in the middle of a crowded park, don’t yell it out here, either. The people you are communicating with should already be well known to you and should already have any information that you may need them to know as a result of such a relationship. if you need them to have your full name, address, SSN, phone number, credit card number or any other type of sensitive information, get it to them in some other way, on some other platform, NOT in Quiet Message. Your privacy is in your own hands. We provide only a place for you to communicate privately, but that privacy is dependent on YOU not giving out ANY information that can identify you or your intended recipient.

ABOUT MESSAGES FROM UNKNOWN PEOPLE THROUGH OTHER MESSAGING SYSTEMS:

If you receive a message via another platform i.e., an email or text message, from a sender you do not recognize and they are asking you to perform a search for a message in QuietMessage.com; IGNORE IT. THIS IS IMPORTANT: PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ABUSE, TROLLING, HATESPEECH AND THREATS BY IGNORING SUCH INVITATIONS FROM UNKOWN SENDERS.
DISREGARD AND DELETE THE MESSAGE AS JUNK MAIL OR SPAM. DO NOT take the bait. Delete the email or text containing the invitation to search for that message in QUIETMESSAGE.COM, and move on with your day. Quiet Message is NOTintended for anonymous communications. It is intended for PRIVATE communications between people who know each other well, with the only exception being in the "Stations" section, wherein you may allow guests if you chose, at your own risk. If you are receiving an unexpected invitation from a sender that you do not recognize, we request that as stated, ignore it, delete it, and forget it. The only way you can be abused by spam is if you actually read it. So don't. If every user ignores invitations from unknown users, abusive personalities will understand that harassing random people by sending unsolicited messages in quietmessage.com is pointless as Quietmessage.com users know to immediately delete such emails without responding. Help us send the message: Our users will not read or respond to message invitations that were not already expected from people they already know.
REMEMBER: QUIETMESSAGE.COM is intended merely to be a private forum for you and an individual well-known to you to have a private conversation. DO NOT ENGAGE WITH STRANGERS AND DO NOT SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION. EVER.

Refund Policy
All sales are final.

Due to the nature of our service, which grants you full control over the content you create, we are unable to offer refunds under any circumstances. Once payment is processed and access is granted, the transaction is complete. Because we cannot track or verify what you create—or whether anything was created at all—our privacy model prevents us from knowing your actions once you are within the site, or even whether you actually DID enter the site at all. This high level of privacy is integral to our service, but is also the reason we cannot provide refunds.
This policy applies to all situations, including but not limited to: Forgotten passwords, technical issues during the creation process (e.g., system glitches, internet failures), or any other problems that may occur, whether within our control or external factors.
We make every effort to ensure our service functions as expected and as outlined on our website. However, because we cannot verify or control the content you create, purchases are made at your own risk.
If you encounter an issue or are unsatisfied with the service, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer refunds or alternative resolutions.
Purchase at your own risk.
